Groundwater Investigations for Locating Well Sites
This chapter describes a systematic programme of desk and field studies for locating suitable sites for water wells. The objectives of the groundwater investigations should be to find locations where wells can be designed and constructed to supply the required demand of water, of a quality suitable for the intended use, at reasonable cost and with least impact to either fellow groundwater users or to the aqueous environment. A systematic survey of existing wells in the study area often follows on from the field reconnaissance. The pumping tests of the drilling investigation phase provide data on the aquifer characteristics and well performance. These tests generally only indicate the potential well yields in the short‐term. A few of the approaches are considered, especially those that make use of readily‐available data and hence that are easy to apply in a groundwater investigation for locating wells. The discussion of tracers has focused on groundwater recharge assessment.
